The Arewa Think Tank group has organised a special prayer session to celebrate President Bola Tinubu's 74th birthday and his expected victory in the 2027 general elections. The event, held at Arewa House in Kaduna, brought together religious leaders, political stakeholders, and members of the group to offer prayers for the president and the nation. According to the group's convener, Muhammad Yakubu, the gathering aimed to seek divine guidance for the nation and its leadership, given the country's current challenges.
The convener, Muhammad Yakubu, praised President Tinubu for his courage and bold decisions to address long-standing economic issues. Yakubu noted that the president is confronting realities others avoided and implementing reforms critical to Nigeria's future. He described the fuel subsidy removal and the unification of the foreign exchange system as necessary steps toward economic recovery.
Key figures, including Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani and former Zamfara Governor Abdulaziz Yari, commended the organisers and expressed support for President Tinubu's administration. Governor Sani highlighted the importance of prayers for leaders and the country to attain peace and development.
The Arewa Think Tank's prayer session underscores the deep-seated desire for stability and progress in Nigeria. President Tinubu's administration is under scrutiny, particularly in the northern region where the group is based. The Kaduna State government's investments in infrastructure, youth development, and rural transformation are notable, but the real test lies in the administration's ability to deliver tangible results. Nigerians deserve to see concrete outcomes from these reforms, especially in the face of rising fuel prices and economic challenges.
